A.J., RN

“The ability to work to a full scope in nursing within family practice is very professionally fulfilling. Being able to be a trusted provider to the patients of our CVFP health home is something I work hard to achieve each and every day.”

A.J. has been with CVFP since June 2015 and a Yellow Team RN since November of the same year. A Nova Scotian, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (Honours) from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2000.  A.J. then completed a Digital Media program in Halifax – she was a Graphic Designer for the world’s largest water-sports company in the United States until moving back to Canada to pursue a Nursing degree. A.J. received a Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Calgary in 2006 and worked in labor and delivery post-graduation. She then moved to Ontario for 10 years where she was an orthopedic RN. It was there that she discovered family practice nursing and has not looked back.

Family is everything to A.J.. And, so is Star Wars – you may see her around the clinic on May the Fourth dressed as a Star Wars character!  She knows far too much movie trivia and loves skiing, playing board games and working out to Supernatural. 

Amy, RN

“As a Registered Nurse, I am privileged to be a part of the health journey of our patients and their loved ones. Not only do I take pride in providing competent care, it fills my career with joy to sit and be with our patients every day, whether that is listening to their stories in person or answering a question over the phone. The outstanding team at CVFP, including our patients, provides an all-around gratifying and supportive environment that encourages me to grow professionally and in line with our clinic values and mission: to provide outstanding care in a patient partnered health home.”

Amy joined the CVFP nursing team in the spring of 2020. She is a graduate of the Bachelor of Nursing program at Mount Royal University (2020), Calgary, Alberta.

Outside of nursing, Amy enjoys cooking, painting and doing anything outdoors including camping, skiing and mountain biking. As a born and raised Calgarian, she feels fortunate to have most of her family close by. Amy values spending time with her parents and three sisters. She lives a life full of love and would not wish to do it any other way.

Cheryl, RN

“Being an RN in family practice allows me to build relationships with our patients and their families. In acute care, nurses often have brief interactions with patients that end up feeling like tasks. The ongoing care that we provide with our health team allows the RN to see the patient as a whole with varied stories, successes and challenges. Fortunately, relationships are one of our core values in the clinic, and those relationships spur us toward showing integrity, pursuing excellence and seeking out innovation.”

Cheryl joined CVFP in 2011. She trained at Foothills Hospital School of Nursing, Calgary, Alberta, and has since continued learning through various university courses and seminars - primarily focussed on preventive care for cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Cheryl shares that she is more likely to take a research paper to the beach than a novel.

Outside of her nursing role at CVFP, Cheryl can be found hiking in Kananaskis or wandering through Bowmont Park with her family and goldendoodle. 

Corinne, RN

Nursing Clinical Resource

“As a Registered Nurse at CVFP, I have the honour of working together with our health team and alongside our patients as they navigate their health journey. I love being able to build relationships over time with patients through seeing them when they come into clinic for visits, as well as connecting with them on the phone. Meeting a newborn, celebrating a 100th birthday, and everything in between makes every day different and exciting at CVFP.”

Corinne celebrated her 10-year anniversary with CVFP in 2022. She graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Calgary in 2006. Since then, she has worked in public health, occupational health and now her “dream job” in primary health/community care.

“At CVFP, an important part of our missions is caring for the person as a whole. This requires understanding the connections between the social determinants of health and how each one affects our patients. As a CVFP nurse, I strive to not only care for the patient's concern, but also take time to get to know them and understand their relationships, culture and situation that impacts their well-being. Building relationships with patients is very important to me.”

Jennifer has been a member of the CVFP nursing team since January 2021. She received her Bachelor of Nursing Science from Mount Royal University, Calgary, Alberta, and is licensed through the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta.
